# Fractions.js A library to help do more precise fractional math *What do you mean?* Multiply `.1` by `.2` in javascript and you'll get something around `0.020000000000000004`, even though the correct answer is `.2` You can read up more about it [here](http://floating-point-gui.de/). ##How to set up ###Node.js Install ``` npm install fractions ``` Then in your program ``` var Fraction = require('fractions'); ``` ###Browser Download Fraction.js, and then link it in your HTML ``` ``` ##API ###Create a fraction There are multiple ways to create a fraction ``` var oneHalf = new Fraction(1,2); var oneHalf = new Fraction(.5); var oneHalf = new Fraction("1/2"); var oneHalf = new Fraction("1", "2") ``` ###Add two fractions You can use Fraction.add(fraction1, fraction2) to add two fractions ``` var oneThird = new Fraction("1/3"); var fourThirds = new Fraction("4/3"); var fiveThirds = Fraction.add(oneThird, fourThirds); ``` You can also use Fraction.add() to add anything that can be converted into a fraction ``` var fiveThirds = Fraction.add("1/3", "4/3"); ``` Another method of adding ``` var fiveThirds = new Fraction("1/3").add("4/3"); ``` ###Subtract two fractions ``` var oneThird = Fraction.subtract("5/3", "4/3"); ``` ``` var oneThird = new Fraction("5/3").subtract("4/3"); ``` ###Multiply two fractions ``` var oneFiftieth = Fraction.multiply(".2", ".1"); ``` ``` var oneFiftieth = new Fraction(".2").multiply(".1"); ``` ###Divide two fractions ``` var oneFifth = Fraction.divide(".02", ".1"); ``` ``` var oneFifth = new Fraction(".02").divide(".1"); ``` ###Compare two fractions ``` var oneFifth = new Fraction(1,5); var oneOverFive = new Fraction("1/5"); oneFifth.equals(oneOverFive); //true ``` ###Compare to a number ``` var oneTenth = new Fraction(1,10); oneTenth == .1 //true ```
